It’s Hard For a Good Wife and Mother
Chapter 25: I can't afford to lose
At 2:00 PM, when Fatty Bai, Xiao Xiao and Wu Lian walked into the lobby after washing, Modai had already started to arrange the tables and stools to welcome the first batch of visitors.
Fatty Bai thought that Mo Dai would have a miserable face this morning, but he didn't expect her to still be smiling and energetic, which made Fatty Bai very depressed. Xiao Xiao didn't know how Mo Dai solved the accommodation problem last night, she was worried before going to bed, now seeing that there was no trace of distress on her face, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Wu Lian is still the same as before, with the high-ranking virtue that no one wants to talk to.
"Daxi, are you sure about the chef assistant selection contest held at Sishi today?" Xiao Xiao walked up and bumped Modai with his elbow.
After wiping the last table, Mo Dai threw the rag over her shoulder and smiled: "I can't be sure, I just do what I can do!"
"Hey! Some people just don't know what they can do, let's see what's going on today!" The fat man gave Mo Dai a white look, and deliberately raised his voice and said loudly.
"I said Fatty White, don't just talk sarcastic, you can participate if you have the ability!" Xiao Xiao couldn't help laughing, and directly refuted.
"Fuck! The surname is Xiao, what is your father, and my mother didn't talk about you, what did you say?" The white fat man viciously smashed the rag on his shoulder to the table.
"you…"
"Shut up, this is Fumantang, not Caishikou, a bunch of ordinary people!" Wu Lian suddenly reprimanded coldly, the fat man glanced at Wu Lian, thinking that she was distantly related to the shopkeeper, Fang Ling, she trembled Shaking his eyelids and contemptuously, he silently spit out the words "dogs rely on people's power", and ran to the entrance of the lobby in desperation.
Xiao Xiao was very angry, she is just a common person, what's wrong? He was about to argue with Wu Lian, but was held back by Modai, so he could only suffocate angrily.
At the hour of Chen, Fumantang became lively. Fang Ling asked people to set up a three-foot-high stage outside the gate of Fumantang, covered it with a bright red coarse cloth, and then moved three long tables on it. Set up all the ingredients that will be used in today's cooking competition.
People who came to the market couldn't help but stop and watch after passing by Fumantang. At this moment, Fang Ling sent his mistress Wu Lian to the stage to tell the onlookers the content of today's competition.
Liugang Town is neither big nor small. Although it is considered prosperous for the country people, it is a remote town far away from the county seat. It is rare to have such large-scale and lively activities on weekdays. , Regardless of men, women, young or old, all stretched their necks to watch. And Fang Ling's purpose is to promote the reputation of Fumantang through this cooking competition. Although Fumantang's reputation is already very good, if it can be better, Fang Ling is definitely happy to see it.
At the second quarter of the hour, Fang Ling looked down from the window on the second floor, and she was quite proud of the crowds of people in the dark.
Knock Knock...
"Come in." Fang Ling said, looking in the direction of the door.
Chef Zihe pushed the door open and walked in.
"Oh, what's the matter with Chef He?" Fang Ling took a look at He Wei. Although he didn't say anything, he couldn't help thinking in his heart, as if he had gained weight again!
"Shopkeeper, I'm here to tell you about the situation of today's competition. There is no need to let the dozen or so underdogs go up to the competition, and there is no need for the second chefs. Just let my current helper He Xiu and that one do nothing Let's compare it to Daxi!" He Wei said, the flesh on his chin twitched, looking like he was struggling.
"Why? It's only lively when there are many people..."
"Which one of them can compare to my niece He Xiu?" He Wei said, his face full of pride.
"Really?" Fang Ling felt displeased in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face, "That's fine, let your niece He Xiu compare with Mo Daxi, since she is a helper, there is no need to cook on the spot. It’s just better than knife skills! How about the three things you are good at, Chef Bihe—shredding, boning, and carving?”
"Success, let's compare like this!" He Wei agreed, "Don't worry about the shopkeeper, my niece is my true biography, I don't know what kind of skills that Mo Daxi has, so don't blame me if you lose later. The big bully the small!" Her niece did a good job as a helper, but she didn't want that Daxi's help, she really overestimated herself, could it be another distant relative of the shopkeeper? He Wei thought about it, and subconsciously glanced at Fang Ling.
"Chef He, is there anything else?"
"No more!" He Wei said and walked out of the door without closing the door, which made Fang Ling feel disgusted again.
At three o'clock in the morning, Mo Dai borrowed a kitchen knife from a second chef's assistant, tried the sharpness of the blade, and was not satisfied, so she went to the well in the backyard, sprinkled water, and sharpened the knife by the well. The knife stone sharpened.
Xiao Xiao stood at the entrance of the lobby and looked out. He clenched his fists and looked excited. He looked even more nervous than Modai himself who was about to compete. Fatty Bai gave Xiao Xiao a cold sideways glance, cursed silently as a "dog leg", and then stared at the stove boredly.
Chef He's niece Ha Xiu came out of the kitchen at this time, holding her usual kitchen knife in her hand, with a confident expression on her face. He Xiu, twenty-two years old, about 1.7 meters tall, has strong muscles, strong arms and wrists, a pair of slender eyes, and shines brightly.
Fatty Bai hated Mo Dai and thought of her as an enemy early in the morning, so He Xiu, who was about to compete with Mo Dai at this time, became a friend on the same front in her eyes.
"Hey, He Xiu, if you want me to tell you that you win today, then that overbearing Mo Daxi will be kicked out of the Fumantang by the shopkeeper!" The fat man walked up to He Xiu, fawning smiled.
"Oh, that's natural!" He Xiu also didn't take Mo Daxi seriously at all. At first, she thought that this kind of competition was completely troublesome, but now it seems that it can earn her a lot of money. Fame, no matter what, today she will show off her housekeeping skills for everyone to see, so as not to save those jealous villains from always saying that she is relying on her aunt to eat soft food through the back door!
Xiao Xiao heard Fatty Bai's words, and immediately defended Mo Dai: "Tsk, Fatty Bai, don't talk so loudly, since Daxi dared to sign up for the competition with the shopkeeper, he must have real kung fu, don't let him Daddy's dog looks down on people!"
"Damn! Who the **** did you say that a dog looks down on people? I look at you as the dog's leg who flatters Mo Daxi. You look like a pug, and you almost wag your tail!" The fat man said while talking. Like a pug, he made faces at Xiao Xiao.
"Who are you calling a pug? Fuck you, fat woman!" Xiao Xiao was aroused all of a sudden, rushed up and grabbed the white fat man's collar, staring, gnashing his teeth and roaring.
The fat white man was not as tall as Xiao Xiao, and his neck was restrained. He could only slap Xiao Xiao with his two fat arms.
"Slap!" Xiao Xiao slapped Fatty Bai on the left cheek, Fatty Bai was stunned for a second, then slapped Xiao Xiao more and more violently, his two fat hands randomly grabbed the teacup on the table beside him , A small porcelain bottle containing vinegar, soy sauce and chili noodles was thrown at Xiao Xiao.
They had a dispute in a corner at the back of the lobby, and it didn't attract too many people's attention for a while. When Modai sharpened her kitchen knife and came back from the backyard, she just opened the curtain when she was hit by a person on the shoulder unexpectedly. The person was big and his bones were like stones, and the place where he was hit made Modai feel pain again and again. inhale.
Of course, this is not over yet, followed by a small porcelain vase containing seasonings, and Mo Dai instinctively turned her face away to dodge, but she dodged the small porcelain vase, but she could not escape the chili powder spilled from the small porcelain vase In an instant, chili powder flew into her eyes, and the burning and tingling sensation made her tears flow endlessly, making her unable to open her eyes.
Mo Dai understands that she can't rub her eyes with her hands at this time, she can only wash them with a lot of water, but now who can prepare water for her?
Fatty Bai and Fatty Xiao Xiao, who were fighting together, also noticed Mo Dai's strangeness at this time. Xiao Xiao was guilty, while Fatty Bai was gloating. She felt that Mo Daxi would definitely lose this time, and he would pack up and leave today.
It was He Xiu who bumped into Modai, she glanced at Modai disdainfully, and walked away without even saying an apology.
"Daxi, Daxi, how are you? Can you still open your eyes?" Xiao Xiao asked anxiously as he helped Mo Dai sit on a stool beside her.
"Xiao Xiao, please fetch me a basin of clean water!" The moment Mo Dai was sprinkled with chili noodles, her mind went blank. To be honest, she was very scared. The twelve years of blindness experience in her previous life made her After regaining the light, I cherish my eyes very much, and I am very afraid that I will lose the light again. However, misfortunes and fortunes happen overnight, and what should come can't be avoided. Right now, her eyes are closed, and there is darkness in front of her eyes, which is no different from the blindness in her previous life. At this moment, she suddenly calmed down again.
"Ah?..." Xiao Xiao didn't understand, and was about to ask clearly but was interrupted by someone.
"The game is about to start, Mo Daxi, why are you still sitting here?" Fang Ling's voice came from the stairs on the second floor, and when he saw that Mo Dai's eyes were closed and tears were still streaming from his eyes, he frowned slightly, " What's wrong with this? Something wrong with your eyes?"
Xiao Xiao regretted that he had clashed with Fatty Bai, and explained to Fang Ling what had happened with a bitter face.
"What should I do? My eyes can't see, what else can I do? I still count on you to bring surprises to Fu Mantang. Now, tsk, Mo Daxi, what do you want me to say about you? This time I But I was miserably hurt by you! Well, let the second chefs come on stage to make amends..."
"The shopkeeper!" Mo Dai suddenly interrupted Fang Ling's words, closed her eyes and turned to face her according to Fang Ling's voice, "I want to compete on stage!"
"You still want to compete? Are you crazy? You can't even open your eyes. You can't see anything. How can you compare yourself to a bird?" Fang Ling was also in a hurry and exploded on the spot.
"I want to compete!" Mo Dai stood up, rolled up the cuffs of her coat, tore off a piece of blue cloth from the sleeve of her inner coat, then covered her eyes, and said firmly, "I can't afford to lose!"
